Mary never passed up an opportunity to go bowling or play bingo. She also enjoyed curling and reading.

Mary will be remembered as a good mother, grandmother, great grandmother, a good wife, a good friend, a hard worker, an excellent cook, and a good member of her church and community who always had a smile for everyone. Mary will be missed and remembered by all who knew and loved her.

I just want to thank you for being there for me. I know that I didn't take advantage of having you in my life. I never got to say goodbye until it was too late. I know it's been two years but I just can't stop thinking about you. I love you more that I have ever told you. Goodbye.
